More Trollish Megan McArdle, verbatim: "It's not as if most people first heard of ACORN when Breitbart started to go after them; they're on the news radar because they are a massive nationwide organization that takes millions of tax dollars every year."

But, shane, that's why this ACORN thing is million times worse than Halliburton!1!1!!Seriously, that RobM1981 guy is a piece of work. "They give us a quote for a project, we pay for it, it gets done." Like getting a quote makes it all OK. And like the federal government doesn't check what their money is spent on.I got three words for him: no bid contracts.Also, extra stupid from Megan: first, it's Arrivederci. Second, it means "till we see each other again". Dumb, dumb, dumb.
